Kenyan Innovative minds mushroom amidst Covid-19

Kenya’s political noise is at an all time low, probably at a negative 10 degrees, amidst this tough ravager by the name Covid-19. Amidst the current depressing turn of events, innovations are cropping up like mushrooms on a Virgin land.

This factory, plus Eldoret – based Rivatex are now contributing a sizable portion of the projected 60 million masks required by Kenya during this pandemic. Turns out that there is no point of importing masks from China.
